Angela White Teams With
Bree Mills for Weighty
Pure Taboo episode
When Angela White decided to make a statement
about idealized body images with a dramatic porn
scenario, she called Bree Mills.
The reigning AVN Female Performer of the Year and the
creator of Pure Taboo, the 2018 AVN Award-winning Best
New Imprint, flirted with the idea of collaborating ever
since White relocated to America from her native Sydney,
Australia, in the summer of 2016.
Once Mills heard what White was thinking, she knew the
timing was right.
“It definitely piqued my curiosity and my spidey sense
that this is going to be a good story to tell because it is a
story that is an elephant in the room,” Mills says. “It is not
an issue that’s really ever explored within adult cinema and
certainly not within a more serious, critical tone and so I
thought that it was very, very interesting.”
White and her studio AGW Entertainment combined to
win a record 14 AVN Awards in January on the strength of
her uninhibited performing and high-end gonzo sensibilities,
but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love a dramatic narrative.
“Bree’s been doing amazing things with Pure Taboo,”
White says. “She’s been pushing a lot of boundaries and
she’s created a product unlike anything else on the market
right now and a platform to really tell stories.
“It’s really about the power of storytelling. And I haven’t
done that much storytelling in my work. When I produce
for AGW Entertainment I’m very much focused on gonzo.
That’s become the genre that I like to produce and direct
and where I feel I can really explore my sexuality. But I
do want to explore the power of acting and I do want to
tell stories as well and Bree was the perfect person to
collaborate with and create something special.”
The two set out to turn White’s story into a script that
was shot in February and featured White co-starring with
Karla Lane, the 2016 AVN BBW Performer of the Year, and
Tommy Pistol, three-time and reigning AVN Best Actor. The
groundbreaking episode, which is one of the first major
porn productions to ever cast a plus-size model in a leading
role, is titled “The Weight of Infidelity.” It debuted April 20
for free on PureTaboo.com, marking only the second time a
full episode has ever been made available to non-members
of the site.
White tells AVN she envisioned Lane and Pistol as her co-
stars from the start. Pistol plays the loathsome John, who is
always telling wife Angie (White) that she has to lose weight
for her to be more attractive. But what Angie doesn’t know
is that at the same time he’s tearing her down, John is
cheating on her with the more voluptuous and curvy Karen
(Karla Lane), whom he is encouraging to eat more as part of
his feeder fetish.
